The new school year is almost here and the hunt has begun for the season’s hottest gear! Sure, your star student needs to stock up on pens, pencils and notebooks. But today we’re focusing on the ultimate statement piece: the backpack.
What better way is there for your son or daughter to express his or her originality and sense of style during the school day than with a backpack? Plus, he or she may be more likely to keep the folders, papers and projects contained—and keep your home free of clutter—with a pack that’s equal parts form and function.
